“You are inspirational champ,” Francis Ngannou and Charles Oliveira trade heartfelt praises for each other

Not only are Francis Ngannou and Charles Oliveira 2 of the most lethally skilled fighters on the planet, but they’re also some of the nicest people you will ever meet as well. Ngannou, the current UFC heavyweight champion of the world last fought when he defended his belt for the first time against former teammate Ciryl Gane. Ngannou is the scariest knockout artist to have ever stepped inside an Octagon for MMA and has wins over the likes of Gane, Alistair Overeem, Cain Velasquez, Junior Dos Santos, Stipe Miocic, Curtis Blaydes and many more.

Oliveira, the former UFC lightweight champion only lost his title due to missing weight during the weigh-ins of his last fight at UFC 274. Otherwise, Oliveira completely dismantled his last opponent, Justin Gaehtje inside round 1. Oliveira is on his way to becoming the greatest Jiu-Jitsu practitioner to have ever stepped foot inside the UFC octagon and has wins over the likes of Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, Tony Ferguson, Kevin Lee, Jim Miller, Michael Chandler, David Teymur, Clay Guida, Will Brooks and many more.
